This is why your kid needs me to teach him how to act in society. |
Cell phone videos do not stay within the school (obviously). They are shared among the school population and posted on social media sites within seconds. These are minors and are not able to make the best judgement at all times. Imagine having a video of your child, whether they are the aggressor or victim, posted on the internet for all to see for all of eternity. Some of the messages on this forum are from a different universe. |
You so know that everyone is not evil at MCPS. Otherwise why the hell are you still here. |
He really doesn't though. He is polite, he puts his phone away in class, his teachers all tell me he is respectful and polite. But I also teach him to think critically. And one way to protect himself without using violence is to have his phone with him and record interactions that are threatening his safety. I'm sorry you don't want to be accidentally recorded not doing your job. |
They don’t. The police can’t do anything. The DA will not prosecute minors. The most they can do is take a report. Then you can sue the parents I suppose if you have the time and money. I have experienced this after a playground incident that resulted in my son staying in the hospital for a concussion. |
Imagine having your child bullied relentlessly year after year. Imagine the school just paying lip service. And then it finally escalates into violence. Yes, I would want that documented. |
Are you ok? I’m glad your kiddo turned out ok. Believe me. I have experienced a few of you before. Crazy parents with awesome kids. Please get a life. I don’t care about you. I know what I’m doing thanks. |
My DS record a fight, and was send to the office to talk about it, he delete the video and they told him the police department might call him because they wanted a warrant for it. After that incident when he came home he started crying and deleted every single picture he ever had. I called the school and they told me, they won't going to do that, but if they wanted to let him know, that when they asked for a video or picture he already took he shouldn't be deleting them. This happened when he was in 8th grade, pre covid and they still had SROs. I didn't like how the SRO talked to him, before calling me or anything. I understand they shouldn't be recording but you don't understand teen boys if you think is that easy. The end of the day, he didn't get in trouble, but they scared him. |
This is surprising. Is there a rule against videotaping in high schools? I’m shocked that they received a five day suspension for recording. Or, did they record an upload to social media but I would like to know what grounds the school used for the suspension. I am simply curious, not debating. |
And believe me I have experienced lazy, entitled, careless teachers such as yourself. Can't be bothered to do your job. |
Good. He should be scared. It’s wrong. He learned a valuable lesson. |
Lol. Ok dawn. |
Oh please! I love how you're going after the parents whose kids recorded the altercation but are totally silent on the violent kids. |
This is true. Another teacher here. Yesterday a student said FU to me during class because I asked him to remove his phone from the desk and put it in his backpack. And he refused to put his phone away and there was nothing I could do because there are literally no rules at my hs. Admin does absolutely nothing |
You sound like a lunatic. |
